Unconditioned Stimulus? unconditioned stimulus (US) is one that unconditionally, naturally, and automatically triggers a response. For example, when you smell one of your favorite foods, you may immediately feel very hungry. In this example, the smell of the food is the unconditioned stimulus.
Some more examples of the unconditioned stimulus include: * A feather tickling your nose causes you to sneeze. The feather tickling your nose is the unconditioned stimulus. * Pollen from grass and flowers causes you to sneeze. The pollen from the grass and flowers is the unconditioned stimulus.
Unconditioned Response?
In classical conditioning, the unconditioned response is the unlearned response that occurs naturally in response to the unconditioned stimulus. For example, if the smell of food is the unconditioned stimulus, the feeling of hunger in response to the smell of food is the unconditioned response. * Gasping in pain after being stung by a bee. * Jerking your hand back after touching a hot plate on the oven. * Jumping at the sound of a loud noise.
What Is a Conditioned Stimulus?
In classical conditioning, the conditioned stimulus is previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with theunconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned response.
For example, suppose that the smell of food is an unconditioned stimulus and a feeling of hunger is the unconditioned response. Now, imagine that when you smelled your favorite food, you also heard the sound of a whistle. While the whistle is unrelated to the smell of the food, if the sound of the whistle was paired multiple times with the smell, the sound would eventually trigger the conditioned response. In this case, the sound of the whistle is the conditioned stimulus.
The example above is very similar to the original experiment performed by Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov. The dogs in his experiment would salivate in response to food, but after repeatedly
